How can I run the restart-config-app to work?

Question

Rails 4.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 with rbenv and ruby ​​2.2.1.

Using capistrano with the capistrano gem, but restarting at the end failed:

INFO [8213c63a] Running /usr/bin/env passenger-config restart-app /home/deployer/my_app --ignore-app-not-running as [e-mail] DEBUG [8213c63a] Command: passenger-config restart-app DEBUG [8213c63a] Please pass either an app path prefix or an app group name. See --help for more information. 

When I try to run this command on the command line via SSH, I get the following:

 deployer@host :~/app/shared/config$ passenger-config restart-app *** ERROR: You are not authorized to query the status for this 

What am I doing wrong here?

I am using Apache, here are the relevant parts of my / etc / apache 2 / apache2.conf:

 LoadModule passenger_module /home/deployer/.rbenv/versions/2.2.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/passenger-5.0.5/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so <IfModule mod_passenger.c> PassengerRoot /home/deployer/.rbenv/versions/2.2.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/passenger-5.0.5 PassengerDefaultRuby /home/deployer/.rbenv/versions/2.2.1/bin/ruby </IfModule> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName mysite.name.com # !!! Be sure to point DocumentRoot to 'public'! DocumentRoot /home/deployer/myssite/current/public <Directory /home/deployer/mysite/current/public> # This relaxes Apache security settings. AllowOverride all # MultiViews must be turned off. Options -MultiViews # Uncomment this if you're on Apache >= 2.4: Require all granted </Directory> </VirtualHost>

Here is what made me work, I added this to my conifg/deploy.rb :

 set :passenger_restart_with_sudo, true 

Link: https://github.com/capistrano/passenger/

To add sudo -free access for the deployer user, on the server, run:

(you can be more specific regarding the allowed commands)

 sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/deployer > /dev/null <<'EOF' deployer ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL EOF 

... and in your delpoy.rb :

 set :user, 'deployer' # Deployment user on remote servers 

Note : it should be noted that the authors of the Passenger are working on the method, so sudo will no longer be needed in the future.

If you do not want to use sudo to restart the application server, just add to config/deploy.rb :

 namespace :deploy do desc 'Restart application' task :restart do on roles(:app), in: :sequence, wait: 5 do execute :touch, release_path.join('tmp/restart.txt') end end end 

To restart with sudo (note that this does not affect Passenger <5):

 set :passenger_restart_with_sudo, false 

If you want to change the restart options, you can override them:

 set :passenger_restart_command, 'passenger-config restart-app' set :passenger_restart_options, -> { "#{deploy_to} --ignore-app-not-running" }
